How to book the best rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. To book the best rental within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Ruff Life: Bungalow with Easy Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
